Three days without water and today the electricity is supposed to go off. School treks on to bimester exams next week and then 2 weeks of holiday where we can all enjoy and forget.
Night before last I read an article "The Sky is Falling" by Gregg Easterbrook about near earth objects that pose potential risks of colliding with earth. Before reading this article I had just finished a book by Clive Cussler (sp?) which involved in the plot a comet colliding with earth 7,000 years ago. I had a look at the website Easterbrook mentions as showing where NASA keeps a list of near earth objects (http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/ ). It is a fascinating list.
I have to set up for 7th grade lab on magnetism and run to the toilet before power goes out in 15 minutes which will shut down the pump and end the lovely free flowing water that spurted from pipes this morning. More on our inevitable collision with some sizeable chunk of space rock in a later blog ... hopefully.
